Ventana Aviation, a UK based airline consulting company, has launched a ground-breaking cabin crew e-learning course. Developed in conjunction with the global e-learning producer, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), the course uses market leading e-learning thinking combined with the technical capabilities of the TIS instructional design team to develop a learning product that is both fun and enables students learn and remember more over a shorter period of time.
The course is, in effect, a full two-week airline cabin crew training course packaged into eight hours of interactive e-learning. The aim is to offer airlines a tool to reduce recruitment and training costs while raising the operational standards of the cabin crew they recruit.
The course is available over the internet and the learners’ progress is continuously monitored through a tracking system.
Business Development Manager, Daniel Welinder said: “The aviation industry is, in many ways, highly traditional. This course is a first step in introducing new ways of thinking into the industry.
“Some airlines already use e-learning but few have embraced the full benefits of this technology. Not only is it a cost saver but there are real benefits in improving training standards, which in today’s market is more important than ever,” he continued.
“Working with TIS, we are looking at introducing the latest e-learning technology and developing this concept across a number of markets and aviation applications.”
Ventana Aviation is distributing the course in partnership with ITEG, a well known provider of aviation training, based in Crawley.
ITEG’s Managing Director, Donahue Cortes said: “We are excited to be working with Ventana Aviation. Cabin Crew Academy is a market-leading product and makes an excellent addition to the classroom training that we already provide.
“There are huge opportunities to develop this concept and I can see that, within a couple of years, this form of training will become an industry standard.”
